Circuit-breaker log (7 checks)
  • Rule 2 check passed: market line +107 within the night-game juice cap (-180; night -180, day -170, day = first pitch before 17:00 venue-local).
  • Rule 8 check passed: raw model 53.1% vs de-vigged market 47.6%: 5.5-point divergence within the 12-point cap (blended to 50.3% at MODEL_WEIGHT=0.5).
  • Rule 4 flag: Hunter Dobbins under 60 IP this deep in the season (limited workload / possible IL return). Volume freeze: confidence downgraded one tier.
  • Rule 6 check passed: away 14-day wOBA 0.329 vs league 0.313 (gap -0.016, threshold 0.035).
  • Rules 3/5 (velocity/spin telemetry): manual review required: Statcast feed not wired.
  • Weather (totals paper track ONLY): 93°F at first pitch: run environment x1.094 + 5% hot-day kicker vs away SP fly-ball (61% air outs). Applied to the paper totals pick; the staked board ignores weather entirely.
  • ✳ Best of Board: the gates left no held plays today, so this is the model's top remaining lean — 0 units, NOT staked, published for transparency. The checks above show exactly which gate it failed.

The close is the last pre-first-pitch capture. Movement toward a side after we post is the fastest honest read on pick quality — see the CLV column on the ledger.

No stake rode on this game. The lean and its failed gates above are the whole position: passing is a position too.
